Round Up 4 Trails is a simple and easy way for your business to help support the continued planning and development of single track trails in Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County. With the addition of a tax-free round-up option in your POS system, your business can allocate a tax-free portion of every sale to DUST2’s trail maintenance, development and construction projects. While our passion is mountain biking, the beauty of the trails that we build and maintain is that they benefit hikers, runners, horse back riders, and bikers; and we even do work on some motorized trails!

2019 was a super year and we have YOU to thank! Because of your generosity with your time and finances, we were able to accomplish all of our goals and more! Check it out:

Completed Phase 2b trails on Res Hill roughly one mile of fun, flowy single track including the New Towers Climb and Meadow Surfer, and Wapiti and Buena Vista reroutes.

Completed the Treasure Mountain Connector Trail partnership project with the Pagosa Ranger District that connects Treasure Mountain Trail to the CDT. This trail was hand built with DUST2 volunteers, youth cycling team, and Tyler Albers and his trail crew. The trail is over a mile of super fun, high alpine single track trail.

Partnered with the Pagosa Ranger District to map and inventory all existing Jackson Mountain Trails. We will be meeting with the PSRD later this year to discuss proposal ideas and next steps.

Awarded 2019 GOCO Youth Corps grant with the TOPS and GGP to assist with Phase 2b trail construction and install two large armored crossings on Dakota Springs Trail.

DUST2 youth cycling team had another great year, adding several coaches and upping the team training game.

Had 24 kids (11 middle schoolers and 13 high schoolers) on our team this year and 17 coaches

Awarded 5 full ride scholarships

Had 9 kids race this year and 6 of them qualified for States

Coach Lance has started a bike club at the High School to create some continuity through out the school year.

Some of our middle schoolers got to race this year at our Sonlight Backyard Race and Escalante Days in Delores.

We have many adventure riders on our team that prefer not to race. We encourage them to challenge themselves in other ways and want to nurture their love of the sport.
